Verizon settlement payments go out to customers in measly amounts
CBSN
Verizon settlement payments have started hitting customers' bank accounts as a $100 million resolution of a class-action lawsuit.
Eligible customers had until April 15 to claim their share of the $100 million class-action settlement alleging customers who purchased postpaid wireless plans were charged administrative fees that the company had not advertised. Those affected were promised payouts of between $15 and $100.
On Tuesday, however, customers reported receiving payments that were well below the settlement's minimum of $15. On social media sites including X, Verizon subscribers groused about measly sums they say the wireless provider had paid them.
